TL;DR
The central beach is long, wide, and regularly cleaned by tractors. The northern beach has a buoyed-off swimming area free of rocks, with buoys about 100 meters out — good for actual swimming.
What the community said
The northern beach has a designated swimming area marked by buoys, free of rocks. The buoys are roughly 100 meters out, making it a proper swimming zone rather than just a shallow paddling area.

Nha Trang is a busy urban resort with a wide beach strip along the central promenade. It is lively and noisy — scooters, crowds, constant activity. Cam Ranh (the airport area) has a more resort-style, quieter atmosphere by comparison.
